The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office has located the missing runaway Samantha Dodson in good condition. She was located shortly after 4pm in a wooded area just outside of O regon City. Kelsey McCune was also located and taken into custody. Both were together when contacted and taken into custody without incident.

Kelsey McCune was taken into custody on a warrant. Detectives are currently interviewing Kelsey McCune.

A tip from a citizen who spotted two people matching the description on the flyer leads Deputies to the location. The citizen reported seeing the two in a wooded park area at the north end of the Country Village Mobile Home Park. Containment was set up and the area was searched by the Clackamas County SWAT Team. The SWAT Team was used due to the size of the area to search and need to quickly cover the area.

The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office would like to thank all of the citizens who called in with tips. We receive hundreds of tips and these tips are what helped us resolve this situation. Thank you to the media for getting this story out quickly and accurately.

Clackamas County Sheriff's Detectives thank the FBI and Clackamas County Major Crimes Team for their help on this complex investigation.

Devil's advocate - why assume the guy is a monster or molester without the facts. Maybe the mother is the druggie monster and the guy was protecting her, you just don't know; way too easy to assume.

Well, what I am thinking if a 40 yr old was trying to protect a 13 yr old, he would have contacted other relatives or (hate to say it) child services, or even a clergy member or counselor. Running off with her and hiding out is not what a rational person would do knowing the consequences of that.
Its all assumption at this point, but my guess is his intentions were not honorable. It would be nice to be wrong on that, but time will tell.

If he IS a pervert and child molestor or meant to do any harm, then yes absolutely, pliers and a blow torch.

I had a friend who had a one night stand with a psychotic compulsive liar/alchi abusive female a few years back.

He paid child support, but was rarely ever granted any time to even see his little girl. The mother would tell the court he was threatening and dangerous, etc, and of course in court the mother is always right and truthful and the daddy is just a worthless POS in every way (that is the assumption).

He took his little 4-5 yr old girl shopping for a day, for something to eat, helped her with her studies WITH the mother's permission. He's one of the nicest, caring people you'd ever meet and definitely not some molester type.

An hour after he left with her she panicked (personality disorder) and called the police and said she had been kidnapped/taken.

It was lucky for him he didn't get shot. Took him hours and text/voice mail proof at the police station that he had been given permission to take his kid. Was the female charged for making a false report - oh no ... of course not ... they are precious angels - a 'mommy' can do no wrong. The system only cares about getting mommy and daughter reunited for the hero story.

In these situations the police also make immediate assumptions and are all ramped up to play super hero. After all, the man MUST be a frothing at the mouth pervert. Who cares if he takes a few bullets?

SO, you never know.

The system always assumes an older man with a young girl means the man is a crazed molester or rapist. NOT always the case.

Women/mothers lie, they manipulate, they are sometimes just CRAZY and dangerous themselves.

Good advice is to extricate such people from your life.

If you made a critical error in judgment and one is the mother of your child, good luck. Most likely your best course if to leave your biology behind. Fathers have no rights in this society.

Christian. Conservative. Male.

GOG, a rope is to kind, and the tree did no harm, to merit being hurt, by the friction of the rope.

the perp needs a month's lodging, in a correctional facility, with the notification that he is a child-love fanatic. He will be given the most kind gentle instruction, by the gentle folks in the institution.... Will then receive medical care for the STD's provided to him, by accidental injection...

potentially, he would be a fine prison wife, for maybe a year, before he died...

yeah, Patrick was just helping her.... I have a Grand Daughter Sami's age... And ~If~ he was really helping her, she would have been Out of his care, in hours, being given to proper Child Care facilitators.
